Posted

Nassau police are looking for a man who allegedly performed a lewd act in front of a 16-year-old girl in Uniondale on May 12.

The young woman was walking on Henry Street near 1st Place at 3:10 p.m., when a man pulled up in a dark blue, four-door Mercedes Benz sedan with tinted windows and no front license plate, police said.

Sitting in the car, the man tried to talk with the teenager, police said. As she looked into the vehicle, the man allegedly performed what the police called “a lewd act.” The girl ran and hid behind a bush. The man drove away.

After getting home, the teen called 911 and reported the incident.

The man is described as black, with a skinny build and was wearing a white T-shirt, blue and green shorts and he spoke possibly with a Jamaican accent.

Police ask anyone with information about the incident to call Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 244-8477 or 911. All calls are confidential.
